Yes, I think Liverpool didn't perform too badly and they even managed to bring home a point. This season Klopp has rejuvenated his squad and it is an update that should be appreciated. While Chelsea have also appeared with a new face this season, Pochettino's arrival has certainly lifted the team's degree from last season's slump. I believe this season the Blues will again be able to compete in the Premier League even though it is quite difficult to dominate the top.
hopefully Chelsea and Liverpool can still compete with other teams which I think they are no less strong than the two of them. Man City, United and Arsenal are the strong favorites this season. Chelsea and Liverpool must be able to make their performances more stable and try not to drop points if they want to compete. I'm not saying they're weak, but these two might struggle a bit to compete for trophies this season.
Just look, who is at the top of the current standings after playing one match, they are Newcastle and Brighton. So indeed, although this is only the beginning, but at least we also have to keep realizing that there are still other teams that can compete in the upper zone in the Premier League standings this season. Because anyway, usually we only consider about, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
But actually, from last season also Newcastle and Brighton can compete well in the upper zone in the Premier League standings. Therefore, for me the Premier League has become more difficult because it is no longer just about the five teams I mentioned. But also, there are still other teams that continue to improve their quality by having good results and good performance so far.
